Is there no way to import FQDN's or IP addresses to an XG?

Hey,

you could also use the "Import" function at "Backup&Firmware" -> "Import/Export".
Here you are able to import the definitions with an XML file.
To get the syntax of the file itself you can export the host definitions: Select "IPHost" (or fqdnhost, fqdnhostgroup) and so on...

Then you have to add your hosts in the entities.xml file and put it in a tar file again.
When you upload the configuration the definitions are added.

Greetings.

I've tried this and everytime it tells me the API Upload Fails. I checked the XML, everything looks fine. I just appended to the end of the Entries.XML file that was contained within the exported TAR file, then added the new XML to a new TAR file.

Check the /log/apiparser.log to get the reason. 

I'm assuming that you also have to create the FQDN Host FIRST, before throwing it JUST in the FQDNGROUP XML, or will that create it automatically. It just seems redundant to have to edit BOTH XMLs. I could probably just do it faster via the GUI.

You have to use the order: 1. FQDN Host 2. FQDNGROUP. 

So update BOTH XML files then?

You can do this in one XML File. But you have to create the FQDN Hosts first. Then build all FQDNGroups.
